Radio will be given a chance to prove its educational value in Washington pub- lic schools as a result of the Board of Education’s decision late yesterday to accept the proffered loan of a dozen recelving sets for installation in junior high schools and in some elementary schools. : ‘The bpard also received a new peti- tion from the Teachers' Union for clerical help in the administration of achievement tests to puplls, and, after informal discussion, requested Dr. Prank ‘W. Ballou, superintendent, to submit to it a complete report on the purposes and value of the tests and the time re- quired in eonducting them. Determination to experiment with radio as an . electrical adjunct was reached when Dr. Ballou recommended that the offer of the Eisenbrandt Radio Co. to 1 recelving sets of na- tionally known make in selected schools be accepted. Dr. Ballou said he was aware that acceptance of the offer might be construed as a willing alliance of school authorities with an organiza- tion interested with the promotion of radio use. He explained, however, that since the semi-weekly broadcasts of educational programs by the “American School of the Air” provide a basis for serious experimentation, was convinced that without sets at their disposal Washington educators would have to rely upon the research and observations of others instead of tak- ing an active pert in the experiments themselves. ‘The sets will be installed in the near future and observations made unti the end of the year. Four Proposals Offered. Dr. Ballou's report on the achievement and intelligence tests of pupils was re- quested when the communication from the Teachers’ Union pointed out that from 3 to 35 hours of extra work are w&m of teachers to complete the The union prog(lzud for the teachers’ relief in the administration of the tests: That if ers are to correct and tabulate the test papers and the re- sults, allowance of time be made in the nt of teachers doing the work; that school sessions be suspended for a sufficient time to enable all teachers to concentrate on and complete this work; that annual substitutes be assigned to the work; or that a clerical force be employed either at the expense of the lding, or by asking an appropriation by Congress, A recent ballot showed 191 teachers the method of administering the tests; 7 in favor of it, and 35 (in- cluding some teachers who were not rmanently employed) not voting. baHots subsequently were destroy- ed, the union advised the school board, “because there became prevalent, right- ly or mistakenly, a fear that teachers who opposed the plan being put into effect would be regarded as insubordi- nate or would be regarded as less effi- clent because not co-operative, Portable Plan Is Rejected. ‘The petition of the Sixteenth Street Heights Citizens' Association to compel children living in the vicinity of the portable schools at Fourteenth street and Kalmia road to attend classes in those structures was met with flat refusal. Dr. Balou explained that a growing antipathy teward portables on the part of parents resulted in the gradual reduction of the attendance at one of the two portables in that com- munity to 12 snd for that reason the building was closed. He added that an insufficient number of children live in the community to warrant construction of a four-room permanent school house. During the discussion on the portable question, Harry O. Hine, secretary of the board, read a letter from F, L. Huxley of 7040 Alaska avenue in which the writer protested against the Six- teenth Street Heights Citizens’ Associa- tion’s efforts to compel attendance at portable schools. He characterized the portables as “pig sties” unfit for school use. “I want to go on record as a tax- payer and resident of the District of Columbia in protest against any such resolution being carried as that adopted by the Sixteenth Street Heights j Citizens’ Association, making it com- pulsory to send a child to said portable schools, which in my estimation are nothing more than a common pig_sty, 2 disgrace to the District, unhealthy, filthy, ill-heated and ventilated, besides being poorly located,” Mr. Huxley's letter set forth. Continuing, it read: “We haven't a vote in the District, but I claim the right of a free born American citizen and a taxpayer of sending my child to a school in a well- built, properly heated and ventilated building, and not a pig sty.” PLAN TO GUARD SALARIED INVENTOR IS ADVOCATED International Labor Office Would Protéct Interests Through Legislation. GENEVA (®)—Proposals for protec- tion of the salaried and wage-earning inventor are being prepared by the International Labor Office. The following principles are suggest- ed by the office in legislation and in collective agreements and will be cir- culated to governments: Every patent must mention the name of the author or authors of the inven- tion, if ltheuy, gn betdetermlned. No agreement e contrary can deprive 8=y of this right. i ‘When an invention is made by a wage earner, either in a private or in a state undertaking, and legislation rec- ognizes the employer as being entitled to the patent, and when it does not appear that the wage earner has re- ceived adequate remuneration either in his wage or in any other manner, the employer shall be bound to grant him supplementary remuneration in propor- tion to the value of ibe invention and the circumstances in which it was car- ried out. Any agreement to the con- tu_‘r_ieahnll be considered null and void. case of an invention made by 2 wage earner who is specially engaged in a service devoted to research and in- vention would be reserved for special treatment.

By the Assoclated Press. - "AIRBANKS, Alaska, February 20.— ‘Word that the body of Carl Ben Elel- son, noted polar fiyer, has been recov- ered from the wreckage of his plane, 90 miles southeast of North Cape, Siberia, Tuesday, was wirelessed to Fairbanks| last night by Joe Crosson, one of the American flyers who conducted the search for the lost explorer. Elelson’s body, together with that of Earl Borland, his mechanic, were placed aboard an airplane at the scene, while Tescuers awaited favorable weather to fly out of the Siberian northland with them. Borland’s body was found last Thursday. The two flyers met death last November 9 when their plane crashed on a little island in a frozen lagoon. 200 Feet From Fuselage. Orosson, at the ice-bound fur-trading motorship Nanuk, near North Cape, to which Eielson and Borland were flving when they crashed, reported that Eiel- son’s body had been found more than 200 feet from the fuselage of his wrecked plane and under less than 1 foot of snow, the wind having swept the spot nearly clear. Efelson's was located about 150 feet from the place where that of Bor- land lay, indicating that their ship crashed with terrific impact. Wreckage of the plane, located January 25 by Crosson and Pilot Harold Gillam, after a long and discouraging hunt, was scattered over a wide area. The motor, near which Borland’s body was found, was hurled 100 feet beyond the fuselage, while one wing v as found 200 feet from where the main portion of the plane crashed. i1| A searching party. headed by Comdr. Slipenov, Russian pilot, located Eielson's , and word of the discovery was taken to the Nanuk last night by Crosson. The bodies were placed aboard Slip- neov’s ship, to be flown to the Nanuk as soon as weather conditions permitted. They then will be flown to Alaska. Bor- land, whose wife and two small chil- dren live in Alaska, will be buried in Seattle, while the body of Eielson will be taken by his father, Ole Eielson, to Hatton, N. Dak., for intermens in the family burial plot. The elder Eielson now is in Alaska awaiting the return of the body. % Eelson, conqueror of both the Arctic and Antarctic in airplane exploration, was_Alaska’s best known aviator, and he perhaps did more than any other person to establish the airplame as a means of transportation in the polar regions. His most famous aerial exploit was a flight on April 15, 1928, across the top of the world from’ Point Barrow, Alaska, to Spitzbergen, a distance of about 2,000 miles, with Capt. Wilkins. ~Wilkins sul knighted by King George of Engiand. First Over “Blind Spot.” Wilkins and Eielson crossed the “Arctic blind spot” more than a month in advance of the dirigible piloted by Gen. Umberto Nobile of Italy on a flight from Spitzbergen to the North Pole. Two years earlier Richard E. Byrd, jr., of the United States mz flew from Spitzbergen to the Nort Pole and return in an airplane. A few days after the Byrd flight the Amund- sen-Ellsworth-Nobile expedition in a dirigible crossed the North Pole on a cruise from Spitzbergen to Alaska. ‘Wilkins and Eielson continued their explorations in the Antarctic during the | Fall of 1928. With Pilot Crosson and an engineer and a radio operator they flew from Deception Island to 71:20 | Al south latitude, crossing Graham Land and establishing that it was not a peninsula of the Arctic continent, as most maps showed at that time. flight made them the first aviators to operate in the south frigid zone, Eilelson was 32 years old and Borland was 28. WALES IS POOR BAIT FOR LABOR HECKLERS Street Orator Praises Prince as Cockney Attempts to Discredit Heir to Throne. LONDON (#)—The Prince of Wales makes poor bait for hecklers of Lon- don's soap box Laborite orators. ‘The scene was an open-air political meeting near Trafalgar Square a few nights before the prince sailed for South Africa. “Wot’s the Prince of Wailes goin’ ter South Africa for, business or pleasure?” bawled a bleary-eyed Cockney. “It's the Englishman's custom,” an- swered the Laborite street orator in mock seriousness and the broadest of Oxford accents, “to combine his busi- ness with his pleas-a-a-r-r. Qur fine young prince will go to South Africa to hunt, but all the young girls from one end of the country to the other will see his smile and his charm and rush home to tell Dad to go out and boost for old England.” ‘The crowd laughed. “Don’t misunderstand me,” the speaker rushed on. “Don’t think I have anything against the Prince of Wales. He is the Labor party’s best campaigner. “God bless the Prince of Wales; long may he live and speak.” JAPANESE PROBLEM. Big Navy and Cheaper Cigarettes Is Problem of Nation. ‘TOKIO (#)—Japan can have cheap- er cigarettes or a big navy, but not both, says Dr. Junnosuke Inouye, min- ister of finance. Wherefore smokers are pulling for the success of the Lon- don Naval Conference. “If the Five-Power Conference results in naval reduction the government can consider reducing the prices of tobacco,” said Dr. Inouye. “If it fails we shall need the mone; Tobacco is a state monopoly in Japan, end from it the government derived $88,500,000 profit in the fiscal year of 1928-29. Sales were mostly domestic brands of cigarettes which retaj} 6 to 9 cents for packages of 2 CHINESE NAVAL OFFICERS STUDY BRITISH METHODS | 20 Are Guests of Britain for Two- Year Course in Tactics of Handling Fleet. SHANGHAI (#).—Twenty Chinese naval officers and cadets have gone to England to study British methods of | port); b Portl running a “big time” navy. ‘They are making the trip at the invitation of the British government, and will remain in England about two years. ‘The officers in tha‘rlrty expect to enter Greenwich Naval Academy and take the same course in tactics as | British students. The eadets, however, must first spend some time on various | naval vessels to learn the rudiments of British navy practice. Later they will also take the Greenwich course. RAILWAY WILL AID.
